1 review for A Practical Guide to Equine Radiography

  1. Richard Stephenson for Vet Record

    This book is a triumph of publishing – beautifully illustrated, it’s a must-have for anyone who regularly x-rays horses. In my imagination this book turns a black and white subject into vibrant colour.
